Destiny
Okay, so Destiny might not be on everyone’s good side at the moment as fans are still trying to figure out their Taken King situation, but there is no denying the fun to be had in this shooter. Yes, this game didn’t release in 2015, but it has maintained a solid presence during this year thanks to the House of Wolves expansion which brought the Prison of Elders, and the Trials of Osiris. Each of those activities allows for hours long gameplay sessions with groups of friends.
The best way to fill your time during the summer drought, especially if you don’t have an extensive backlog of games, is to find a simple to get into a time-sink. Destiny is exactly that. Its gameplay is accessible, and the repetition actually becomes one of its strengths in this instance since it easily allows you to get into a flow. Pick up to do your daily bounties, just run the weekly strikes, or dominate the trials. How you decide to approach is entirely up to you and why this game is perfect to pass the time. Destiny is available on PS3, PS4, XB1, and 360.
